Shoutout to the phenomenal panthers who represented P.S./I.S. 45 this past Saturday at the Urban Advantage Science Expo located at the American Museum of Natural History.

Thank you to Mr. Raza and Mrs. Jones for their hard work and guidance in supporting our panthers!

May is Asian American Pacific Islanders Month!! Here at the 45K community, we celebrate diversity and all the types of cultures. This year was our very first Asian multicultural show! It was tremendous and exhilarating to see our community represent these cultures!

Special shoutout to Ms. Dean for organizing the show and Ms. Polite for the beautifully decorated stage!

Our staff enjoyed the Asian American Pacific Islander Luncheon. It was delicious exploring food based from Thailand, Philippines, and other Asian countries. Thank you to Ms. Edwards for organizing our last, but still tasty luncheon of the year!

What an amazing performance from the ZUZU Acrobats!! ZUZU Acrobats are a Tanzanian troupe who bring modern art, culture, and passion with them to share the history of 2000 years ago. These acrobats definitely know how to move!

Our studious seventh graders took a break from their hard work and went out to Lake Compounce Amusement Park for some well-deserved fun!

Last week, we had coaches from
@BrooklynNets and @nyliberty come to P.S. 45 for a basketball clinic. Students from 5th through 8th grade had the so much fun learning and practicing some workouts and basketball skill drills! 🏀🏃‍♀️💨

Our STEAM Fair was a knockout!
Thank you to Ms. Edwards, our coding teacher & Ms. Grant, our STEAM teacher for hosting our first STEAM Fair.
We had a blast exploring and learning through each other different ways steam and programming come together. 🖥️⚖️🤓

Class 272 Panthers had a fun day at Prospect Park. These amazing panthers also took time out of their day to clean up the environment as well.

What outstanding citizens! Thank you Class 272!

Our middle school panthers took their learning outside of the classroom to the Museum of Natural History. We learned about the history of dinosaurs and explored the new, immersive exhibition "Invisible Worlds" which is about natures hidden realms and how all life on earth is connected.

What a day for the history books!
